The Impact of Systemic Risks on the Business – Alla Valente, Cody Scott – BSW #305
Each year, Forrester tracks the top systemic risks — external events that impact your firm and customers but are out of your control — facing organizations. The impacts of climate change are both short-term, in the form of severe weather, drought, and heat waves, and long-term, in the form of biodiversity loss, sea-level rise, and rising temperatures.
Want to see where climate risk ranked on the list? Read The Top Systemic Risks, 2023 (https://www.forrester.com/report/the-top-systemic-risks-2023/RES179156) or listen to this segment on Business Security Weekly.
